• "The vanilla chai flavor is rich and indulgent, making it feel like a treat every time I have it."

• "The company was bought out by nestle and they have changed the formula. The vanilla has an artificial flavor. Don’t recommend this anymore."

• "Although the nutritional value of this product is good, it tastes like your typical soy protein which I don't care for much at all."

Packaging & Value

Pros:
